Remember
adult #509, who likes to hang around the kids? Here he is with
chicks from Cohorts 2 and 3 after training. What is 509's banding
code? Which young chicks might these be? (You know their cohorts
and can see their bands.)

As of Sep. 19,
the trike still had the training wing on it. How is this wing different
from those used during migration? It is all white. It has wires to
the plane.
It is bigger (19 meters wide) which makes it slower and better for
the new fliers. What do you notice about the chicks' primary feathers?
Why is the pilot covered with a costume?

Cohort
Two and Cohort Three both have six birds. They do not yet fly together
in one group. What is the reason?
